Hi. I’m looking at bandsaws on eBay and see a few with this item (arrowed). Please can someone enlighten me as to its use?
Many thanks.

If you use two push sticks all the time the chances of getting a cut are reduced close to zero. Never quite zero - things do happen! It takes a bit of time to get used to them but it's worth it and it actually makes machining easier - increases your reach and also means you can control stuff holding very close to the blade. You might lose a bit of the stick but not your fingers.Nah there would have to 2 pushsticks before you do that.
He is right about the importance of using them though I have 3 hanging around the bandsaw and 4 on the tablesaw you know, belt and braces stuff.
